Daily Thoughts

In the Old Testament I read the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy that we read about a couple of days ago. An angel slew 185,000 Assyrians and Sennacherib was slain b y his sons. 2 Kgs. 19: 32-37 "Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it. By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord. For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead."

In the D&C I read a reminder of how great the worth of souls are in the sight of God and how much He rejoices when someone repents. He loves us all so much! He suffered death for us, so that we could be forgiven if we'd repent, and He rose again, paving the way for us to be resurrected also. D&C 18: 10-13 "Remember the worth of bsouls is great in the sight of God; For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him. And he hath risen again from the dead, that he might bring all men unto him, on conditions of repentance. And how great is his joy in the soul that repenteth!"

Some verses with a thought booklet tell us that God is light and if we say we have fellowship with Him, but walk in darkness, we are lying. The blood of Jesus Christ will cleanse us from all sin and if we walk with Him, we'll be walking in the light. 1 Jn. 1: 6-7 "If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."
